We cannot say that the interest rate on our savings account should be greater than the rate of inflation, but we can say that the interest earned on our overall savings or investments should be greater than the inflation rate. That is because: Let's say you invested Rs. 100 in a bank that gives you 3% interest every year, which means your 100 would have grown to be 103 by the end of the year, but if the country's inflation rate if say 8%, something that was 100 rupees last year would be costing 108 rupees now which means your money has effectively lost its value. That is why we must invest in instruments that give us returns that are alteast greater than the inflation rate.

The highest interest rates for a one year investment depend upon the amount of money invested and the risk factor involved. If one invests $2,500 with Discover Bank and purchases a CD for one year, the interest rate is .85%.
A simple formula can be used to calculate the amount the dollar invested is worth over a monthly period. Use PV*(1+R)/N where PV is your present investment, R is your interest rate and N is the number of investment periods.
